32 weeks...lots of hiccups!




I finally remembered to post a photo of my belly. I definitely feel like I'm getting bigger by the day!!

Week 32 update from parenting.com:
Your normally energetic baby has started to chill out a bit. Her movements feel more like squirms and rolls than hyperactive kickboxing sessions. That's because this week, when she's close to 4 pounds and 19 inches long, she has begun to run out of room (or should we say womb?). Beneath her skin is a nice layer of fat, and although she still relies on the umbilical cord for nourishment, her digestive tract is almost fully developed. Fetal brain scans show that babies this age actually have rapid eye movements, which means they're dreaming. Who knows what dreams now fill your baby's slumber?

One of the strangest things I've felt lately is when the baby has had hiccups. I can feel these movements very strongly each time she hiccups! I can even see my stomach moving each time. Crazy!! Last night at aunt Tracey's birthday dinner the family was able to experience this as well!

Loved those hiccups!! She's definitely making her presence known and it was such fun to share that with her and her mommy!!

Love,
